However, after a few steps after the Buddha Mother, she saw a big river in front of her. There was only a stone bridge on the river, and the army was swarming across the bridge to cross the river.
The scene was in chaos. Where could the Buddha's mother find Liu Xin?
When Buddha Mother also crossed the Xiaoqing River in front of her, the eight thousand army had almost completed crossing the river. Buddha Mother anxiously asked people to search for Liu Xin. When they finally found him, they found that he had reined in the horse and looked at him with horror on his face.
Ahead!
Buddha's Mother followed Liu Xin's gaze and looked forward. At this time, dawn had arrived, the sky was bright, and the scene in the distance became clear. She saw with horror that countless enemy troops had already turned their backs to the city and were quietly moving in.
They were lined up on the plain a mile away. As far as the eye could see, from east to west, they were densely packed with elite cavalry, neatly dressed, with swords and bows in hand, numbering at least ten thousand!
In the center of the enemy's formation, a two-foot-high flag fluttered in the morning wind, with a big Chinese character written on it! Under the banner, there was a general in golden armor, holding a ten-foot long spear, and a giant black horse under his crotch.
, who is it if it’s not the King of Han?!
At this moment, His Highness the King of Han and his 10,000 cavalry all looked indifferent, staring at the tired, confused, and frightened Qingzhou Army with stern eyes, as if they were looking at a dead person.
"It's over..." Liu Xin was cold from head to toe, and his teeth could not help but tremble. "Sure enough, the military advisor was right. They are trying to lure the enemy deeper!" How could eight thousand tired infantry be the opponent of ten thousand cavalry waiting for work?
?Liu Xin's intestines turned green with regret. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. He smiled sadly at the Buddha Mother beside him and said: "Buddha Mother, I just shouldn't be so self-righteous..."
Buddha's Mother was also extremely shocked and felt regret in her heart. She secretly thought that if she hadn't subconsciously acted against Wang Xian, she probably wouldn't have put the soldiers in such danger!
"Boss, let's fight them!" the generals shouted: "His grandma's people are dead, kill these ****!"
"Shut the hell up!" Liu Xin has been on the battlefield for a long time after all. He knows that if this battle is fought head-on, there will only be one result, and that is to hit the stone with an egg! Liu Xin forced himself to calm down and gritted his teeth and said: "I will lead a thousand people
After the troops and horses are cut off, you will quickly escort the Buddha Mother back to the south bank of the river!"
"Boss!" The generals shouted excitedly whenever they were willing to give in: "How can this happen! Let me..."
"Shut up!" Liu Xin interrupted everyone rudely, pulled out his knife, and said sternly: "Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, I will chop off his dog's head!" When the generals fell silent, he continued to order:
"After crossing the river, you will demolish the bridge for me! Then quickly go to Gaoqing to meet the military advisor!"
"Ah! How can that be done? What are you going to do, boss?!" The generals still couldn't help shouting.
"I called you nonsense!" Liu Xin cut a general's helmet in half with a sharp knife, gritting his teeth and said: "You think those ten thousand cavalry are just a display?!" He was already determined to die. He roared.
: "Get out of here!"
"Boss..." The generals' eyes were red and they began to cry.
"Get out!" Liu Xin glanced at the Han king's cavalry opposite. Their armor was bright in the morning light, and their swords and guns were shining! Liu Xin swung his sword violently: "Get out!"
When the generals saw this, they had no choice but to kowtow to Liu Xin, then leave with tears in their eyes, preparing to organize their subordinates to cross the river one by one.
However, the Buddha Mother still stayed by Liu Xin's side and refused to cross the river.
"Buddha Mother, why are you still dawdling!" Liu Xin said, suppressing his violent temper.
"I will not leave." Mother Buddha said in a tone that left no doubt: "I will not stop General Liu, and General Liu should not try to stop me."
"No!" Liu Xin shook his head vigorously and said, "Buddha Mother is concerned with the overall situation and cannot allow any loss!"
"If I leave the soldiers alone, who will believe in me?" Buddha Mother said lightly: "General Liu, don't say any more, hurry up and form the formation." After speaking, she lowered her voice and said: "Not to mention my skills,
It’s not that General Liu doesn’t know that if I want to leave, no one can keep me.”
"Hey!" Liu Xin knew the Buddha's temper very well and knew that it was useless to say anything. He turned his head depressed and led his thousand soldiers and horses to form an array facing the Han army. These thousand people knew what was waiting for them.
What, but seeing Liu Xin standing on horseback with his sword drawn, standing among them, and the Buddha Mother standing quietly behind them, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers was greatly reduced, and instead they became more tragic and heroic!
Behind these thousand soldiers, 7,000 Qingzhou troops were crossing the river in an orderly manner... No one spoke, no one fought, and the 7,000 people crossed silently under the leadership of the general.
In the distance, the Han army remained motionless, looking mockingly at the Qingzhou army that retreated without a fight under the dazzling morning light!
Seeing that the Han army was still unwilling to attack, Liu Xin felt an ominous feeling in his head. He suddenly turned around and looked towards the south bank of the river. His blood immediately surged up and he almost fell off his horse!
In the jungle on the south bank of the river, one, two, and countless battle flags suddenly appeared, followed by countless infantrymen, fully armed, coming out of the woods and rushing towards the Qingzhou Army who had just crossed the river halfway!
In the blink of an eye, enemy troops who had been ambushing for a long time appeared on three sides of the river bank and surrounded the panicked Qingzhou Army. They shouted "Kill Zhentian" for a while!
"Hurry up and hold on!" the general who had already crossed the river shouted hoarsely: "We can't let them scatter us!"
"Ouch!" The officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army quickly raised their weapons, hurriedly lined up in formation, and looked nervously at the enemies coming from three directions. There were too many enemies! In the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, it was simply overwhelming!
However, after all, the general was a semi-monk, and a year ago he was a salt dealer selling private salt. In his nervousness, he forgot to ask his subordinates to leave enough space for the troops crossing the river behind him! They were allowed to form their formation on the spot.
As a result, the follow-up troops were blocked on the bridge and basically unable to move forward!
But even if he thought of it, it might not be of much use! Because the offensive of the Han army was too fierce, more than 10,000 infantrymen rushed towards them from three sides. As soon as they made contact, the Qingzhou army suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was compressed to
pole!
"Retreat!" Seeing that they could not move forward, the generals on the bridge naturally issued the order to retreat to the north bank. We can't keep piling up on the bridge!
Seeing that the Qingzhou army had been beaten into chaos by the half-crossing attack, the King of Han waved his hand. The elite cavalry, which had been unable to restrain themselves for a long time, immediately came out like tigers and pounced on Liu Xin's thousand infantry!
Liu Xin looked at the enemy soldiers behind him, and then at the cavalry rushing in front of him. His heart sank to the bottom. He finally understood how far he was from a real general! That was nothing short of a world of difference!
With a little effort, I foolishly took the bait, and before the battle even started, I was already in a losing situation!/p>
If it weren't for the Buddha Mother to protect and the lives of so many brothers to be saved, Liu Xin would really want to draw his sword and kill himself. Don't be embarrassed anymore!
"General Liu, think of a solution quickly!" Mother Buddha also realized that the entire army was in danger of being destroyed, and looked at Liu Xin anxiously.
"Break out!" Liu Xin composed himself, with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go west along the Xiaoqing River, which is Gao Qing!" After saying that, he ordered the soldiers around him: "Let the brothers who have not crossed the river go west along the river beach.
This is the only way to escape the cavalry!"
"Yes!" The soldiers rushed to convey the order, and the subordinates who were waiting to cross the river turned to the west and retreated along the river beach as quickly as possible.
Watching his men turn to the west, Liu Xin took one last look across the river at the brothers who were besieged by ten times the enemy and still refused to retreat. He knew that these people had no chance of survival!
"Brothers, it's our turn!" Liu Xin turned around and said to the thousand soldiers beside him: "Hold the enemy and fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!" A thousand soldiers roared in a low voice, raising their spears and staring fearlessly at the enemy cavalry rushing towards them!
However, those enemy cavalry had no intention of fighting melee. When they rushed within thirty feet, they opened their bows and arrows and shot at the Qingzhou Army! Their archery skills were excellent, and almost all arrows were missed! The Qingzhou Army soldiers only
Holding spears to resist the cavalry attack, almost without shields, they all fell to the ground screaming and being hit by arrows!
In one round of shooting, more than a hundred soldiers were killed, and countless others were injured by arrows... But as long as they could still stand, the soldiers gritted their teeth and blocked the enemy's cavalry, trying to fight for as much as possible for their comrades behind them.
time!
After shooting the arrows, the enemy cavalry turned to the two wings of the Qingzhou Army, outflanked them from the side, and gave up the front to the cavalry behind them - those cavalry had already finished bending their bows and nodding arrows, and there was another round of terrifying shooting!
This time, even Liu Xin was not spared. His horse was hit by an arrow in the face. The horse stood up in pain, and Liu Xin was thrown to the ground, and he fainted immediately!
Before he fainted, four words popped into Liu Xin's mind - 'Mongolian cavalry'!
Liu Xin could see clearly that those enemy cavalry were simply Mongolians with swords, swords and long bows! But he couldn't understand why there were so many Mongolian cavalry in the Han army?! So many
When the Mongolian cavalry arrived in Shandong, why was there no news from the White Lotus Sect, not even the military advisor?!
Seeing those Mongolian cavalry ravaging the Qingzhou Army with ease, the King of Han showed a cruel smile. This was his secret weapon! When his father started the army, he relied on the Mongolian cavalry borrowed from King Ning. Now it is his turn
How could he not imitate his father and use those Mongolians who get paid to do things?!
Before the King of Han was sent to Shandong, he had a close relationship with the Duoyan Guards in Liaodong. After he arrived in Shandong, he spent a lot of money to bribe the leaders of the Duoyan Guards and borrowed five thousand cavalry from them! In this way, the King of Han added it to his own hands.
The five thousand cavalrymen gathered together a total of ten thousand of the most elite cavalrymen!
The King of Han knew very well that with just these 10,000 cavalry, it would be easy to defeat Shandong. Once his father's mountains collapsed, these 10,000 cavalry would march straight into the capital and help him win the crown of the Ming Dynasty in two days!
People can stop it!
As for how this cavalry managed to evade the eyes and ears of the imperial court and come to Shandong from outside the Pass, it was because there was a sea route. They boarded the ship from Liaodong, crossed the Bohai Bay, and disembarked in Lijin County, naturally without anyone noticing!
