After receiving the urgent message from Mao Xiuzhi, Wang Huilong led his Qingqi to the slide without hesitation. Because Wang Huilong knew that in the heart of his lord Yang Anxuan, the invasion of the Hu people was more important.
Along the way, Wang Huilong was thinking about how to defeat the enemy. The Wei army had been stationed in Jixian and Liyangjin for a long time. After capturing Baimajin, they would definitely cross the river in large numbers. The number would be more than 30,000, of which at least half were cavalry. The troops he led It may not be easy for five thousand Qingqi to win.
Lu Gui defeated the Wei army with the Queyue Formation at Liyangjin. Only if he could copy the Queyue Formation could he win. However, the Queyue Formation has extremely strict terrain requirements. The Wei army has already crossed the river, so it is unlikely to replicate the Queyue Formation.
After arriving at Changyuan, Wang Huilong learned that there were 1,200 soldiers garrison in the city. He took inventory of the inventory of Changyuan City and found 140 chariots and 360 wolf spears. He was even more surprised to find that 1,200 soldiers were stationed in the city. One hundred pounds of gunpowder. To resist the light cavalry, gunpowder, chariots and wolves were very important. Wang Huilong finally gained some confidence.
Wang Huilong sent someone to Yanxian County to deliver a message, asking Yanxian County to send troops to the south of Huaxian County to gather reinforcements, and try to bring as much gunpowder, chariots, wolves and long weapons as possible.
At midnight on November 26th, Wang Huilong joined Yan County's reinforcements twenty miles south of Huatai City. In addition to 5,000 light cavalry, there were now 1,800 more infantry. The key thing is that a total of 2,000 kilograms of gunpowder, 230 chariots and 600 wolf spears were obtained from Changyuan and Yanxian.
South of Huatai City is an open plain, suitable for light cavalry to gallop, and the terrain is more favorable to Wei Qi. Wang Huilong simply chose an open area, arranged more than 200 chariots in a circle, leaving many gaps for horses to enter and exit, and dispersed 1,800 infantry in the circular chariot formation.
The archers stood on top of the chariot, and six hundred soldiers stood behind the chariot holding wolfs, and the spearmen and shield bearers each took their respective positions. Wang Huilong deployed the circular formation fifteen miles south of Huatai City, and then led five thousand Qingqi to kill towards Huatai City.
The cold wind blew on his face, and Wang Huilong felt heavy. The outcome of this battle was unpredictable. If Taicheng was defeated and Taicheng could not be saved, Yan County and Changyuan might also fall. Most of the defenders in the two cities were taken out by him, leaving insufficient defense in the city. , the Wei army can easily capture the city. Once Huatai, Yanxian, Changyuan and other cities fell, only Puyang Gucheng would be left in the entire Puyang County, and it would not take long for the entire Yanzhou to fall into the hands of the Wei people.
When things get tough, you need to be bold. Wang Huilong mustered up his energy. At worst, he will be defeated and die. When the Liu Yu clan destroyed his family, he almost died. Now that I have a wife, children, and descendants, there is nothing to fear about death.
In the south of Huatai City, Yu Liyi and more than 10,000 Wei cavalry were already in full formation. He had already received reports from the reconnaissance cavalry, and the Yong army came to rush to Huatai's aid, with only five or six thousand troops.
Weilijin, Liyangjin, and Yumendu were defeated at the hands of the Yong army. Yu Liyi paid more and more attention to the Yong army, but Li Meng was also dissatisfied. Weilijin fell into the trap, and Liyangjin fell into the trap because of A. That fool Bo Gan and Yong Jun used gunpowder at Yumendu. Although Yu Lixi was defeated, he was not convinced. If there was an honest battle on the battlefield, Yu Liyi believed that his son would be better than Yong's army.
Half an hour before noon, the sound of horse hooves came rolling in. Yu Lixi raised the black silk in his hand, and the silk grate danced in the wind.
Without saying a word, Yu Lixi urged his mount and took the lead to greet Yongqi. Today he wanted to remove the thorn in his throat and wash away his shame with blood.
The Wei cavalry rode their horses one after another, and the sound of intensive hoofbeats merged into thunder. Many people raised their scimitars high, roared wildly, and galloped forward with enthusiasm.
More than a hundred steps apart, Yong Qi split into two parts from the middle, swept across in the east-west direction, and the soldiers on horseback bent their bows and fired at Wei Qi.
Not to be outdone, Wei Qi also rained arrows. The long arrows intertwined and collided with each other at a distance of dozens of steps. From time to time, war horses neighed and stood up, and soldiers fell off their horses.
The personal guards used shields beside Yu Lixi to protect him. Yu Lixi used black iron from time to time to knock down the arrows that slipped through the net. The war horses sensed his eagerness and did not need to be whipped, but galloped like the wind.
The oncoming wind made it difficult to breathe and his heart beat violently, but Wang Huilong felt his blood boiling. He cut off the enemy's arm with a knife, and the blood splashed on his face. He couldn't help but howl loudly.
Deafening howls filled his ears, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe. The moment he raised the knife, all his thoughts turned into the light of the knife being swung out with all his strength, and he was roaring at the top of his lungs.
As soon as the two armies collided, hundreds of riders fell to the ground.
Wang Huilong felt that the time was almost right, so he sent an order to retreat southward.
Yu Lixi slowed down his horse and raised the black silk in his hand. The silk grate had been stained with blood and turned bright red.
Seeing the Yong cavalry retreating like a tide, Yu Lixi recalled the terrain in his mind. There were plains within a radius of thirty miles, and there was no place for Yong's army to ambush the enemy if they wanted to.
"Chase", Yu Lixi chased after Yong Qi without hesitation.
The fifteen-mile journey was approaching in an instant, and Wang Zhene passed through the gap in the chariot with his light cavalry.
Yu Lihui reined in his horse, and Yong's army in Liyang Jin used chariots to defeat more with less. However, the chariots in front of him were not connected together and appeared sparse, with many gaps exposed. Yongqi rushed into the chariots through the gaps. after.
Wei Qi chased Yong Qi and rushed into the chariot formation. There were horses in the formation. Wei Qi slowed down and the archers on the chariot shot cold arrows from a high position.
A dense crowd of wolves surrounded him, and the war horses jumped up in fright, throwing the soldiers off their horses, and immediately pierced them with spears, killing them.
Yu Lihuan ordered the chariots to be bypassed. The chariots were placed in a very wide area, enclosing several miles of land. Yongqi rushed in and out of the chariot formation from time to time, luring the Wei army into the battle formation.
Within a quarter of an hour, Wei Qi who entered the car formation suffered hundreds of casualties. Yu Lixi frowned and ordered: "Tear off a corner and clear the obstacle."
Amidst the sound of the trumpet, the Wei cavalry gathered in the east and north. More than ten thousand people fired arrows and covered the sky. The Yong troops on the chariot were hit by arrows and fell down. Wang Huilong hurriedly sent an order for the soldiers on the chariot to avoid the formation.
Wei Qi took the opportunity to rush to the chariot, dragged the chariot away, and cleared a passage of dozens of feet. Seeing Yong's army retreating, Wei Qi charged fiercely. Suddenly the war horses neighed and the ground was covered with caltrops.
The fallen Wei cavalry was quickly killed by bows and arrows. Yu Liyi was a little worried. The Yong troops in front of him were as tough as cowhide. Even though his own army was twice as large as the Yong troops, it was still difficult to win. That kind of weird weapon with shackles is really difficult to deal with.
Wang Huilong saw that the Wei army's offensive was slowing down and their momentum was weakening, so he immediately ordered Langzhen as the front to go forward and kill. Six hundred wolf spears were divided into five rows, forming an outer arc to protect Yong Qi behind him.
Yu Lixi sneered and said, "Idiot, you care about the head but not the tail."
The horn signaled, and more than 10,000 Wei cavalry dispersed and moved towards the back of Yong's army, preparing to attack from all sides, cut Yong's army into small pieces, surround and annihilate them.
Wang Huilong saw Wei Qi scattered in all directions and knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived. He had already noticed Yu Lixi, who was commanding the Wei cavalry in battle. He is holding a black pottery and has a gray beard. He must be Yu Lixi.
Just after fighting with the enemy, Wang Huilong saw many soldiers fell under this man's body. Although Yu Lixi was old, his bravery was still extraordinary.
However, on the battlefield, victory is not only about bravery. With the sound of the horn, the wolves separated to the east and west, revealing the road. Wang Zhen'e led Yongqi to rush towards Yu Lixi.
Yu Lixi laughed and said, "Yong Jun dares to fool the old man, so I will show him how powerful a fool can be."
There are still more than 3,000 cavalry beside him. As long as he can withstand the charge of Yong cavalry and wait for the encircling Erlang to surround him, Yong's army will be unable to fly.
Yu Lixi didn't notice that there were many clay pots on the back of Yong's horse rushing towards him, which were the magic weapons used by Wang Huilong to defeat the enemy.
More than twenty steps away, Yong Qi threw the pottery pot in his hand. The pot fell to the ground and hit Wei Qi, causing black powder to scatter. The rocket passed through the air and immediately ignited flames, causing the horses to run wildly in shock.
Taking advantage of Wei Qi's panic, Wang Huilong and his son rushed towards Yu Lixi. Yu Lixi's leather armor was stained with gunpowder and caught fire.
The relatives around him were afraid that he would make a mistake and wanted to rush back around him. Yu Lixi shouted angrily: "Those who retreat will be killed."
Waving the black pottery in his hand, he came to meet the enemy, and dozens of clay pots were thrown at him. Clay pots collided with each other in the air and shattered, and the black powder was dyed black by Feng Yiyang. Yu Li's white hair was dyed black. The guards were shocked. If General Yu made a mistake, as a guard, he could only die to apologize.
Seeing the rocket coming, the guards stretched out their arms to meet it. With a "puff", the black powder all over their bodies ignited, and they immediately turned into flaming people.
The other guards didn't dare to delay. They took Yu Lixi's horse and left.
Yu cut off the reins, but unexpectedly, the guard behind him stabbed his horse's butt with a knife. The horse was in pain and galloped forward. No matter how much Li Yu yelled, he could not stop it.
Wang Huilong led his Qingqi and chased closely behind Yu Li. From time to time, Wei Qi wanted to turn back and block him, but Wang Huilong, with a small number of people, rushed past, while with a large number of people, he threw gunpowder cans and used the flames to scare the enemy.
When Wei Qi saw Yong's army chasing their general, they all galloped after Yong Qi, trapping Yong Qi in the middle.
Yu Lixi simply ran towards Huatai City, preparing to form a team to fight when he reached the edge of the city. At that time, he and the men chasing behind Yong Qi would surround Yong Qi to see how much gunpowder Yong Qi still had to throw.
A few miles away from Huatai City, he saw flames rising into the sky in the city. Yu Lixi felt sad in his heart. If he couldn't figure out a way to deal with Yong's army's gunpowder, even if he could capture Yanzhou, he would still be defeated.
At this time, the Wei troops in Huatai City were running out like headless flies. A crowd of people were crowded at the city gate. They could not get out more and more. Seeing that the fire was about to spread, Shusun Jian's personal guards could not care about other people. , drew his knife and slashed at the soldiers in front of him, creating a bloody path to protect his uncle Sun Jian from escaping.
The Wei army who had left the city had not yet taken a breath when they saw Yu Lixi coming with thousands of light cavalry. The Wei army who could not dodge was knocked away and trampled by the horses. Yu Lixi looked at the fire in the city and asked anxiously: "Where is Shouguang Hou?"
Wang Huilong saw the fire in the city and knew that Qi Ke was cooperating with him inside and outside, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to smash the remaining gunpowder cans at the Wei army.
The rockets ignited flames, and the Wei army, which had been frightened for a long time, fled in all directions, making it difficult to organize a counterattack.
Wang Huilong led his Qingqi straight towards the Wei army's camp east of Huatai City. The camp was now in chaos, fleeing back from the city. There were also Wei cavalry who turned back in panic. News of the death of Uncle Sun Jian and Yu Lixi was rampant.
Gongsun Biao stayed behind in the camp. Seeing that a camp roar was about to occur, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to return to their tents and wait for orders, and not to move around.
The Wei army was divided into camps. At this time, Wang Huilong led his army to rush into the camp. In order to facilitate the retreat of the defeated troops, the gates of the Wei army's camp were not closed, and Wang Huilong led his army to rush in.
The originally frightened Wei army exploded their nest and fled in all directions. Wang Huilong found the granary and smashed the remaining ten gunpowder cans on it, and the fire quickly ignited.
Seeing the fire rising into the sky, Wang Huilong had a smile on his face. Without the food and baggage, the Wei army had only one way to retreat.
"I dozed off sitting in front of the computer. There are so many things at the end of the year and my energy is limited. I feel really sleepy."
