In mid-February, in the southern section of the junction between Wuyang County and Ji County in southwest Hebei Province, there was still plenty of light in the morning, but clouds gradually began to appear. By noon, not only did the clouds thicken, but a slight southeasterly wind began to blow.
It was obviously going to rain.
Raining is normal. Seven or eight days have passed since the last spring rain. If the sudden outbreak of war is not considered, the local people in Hebei should be particularly looking forward to this spring rain that occurs in the middle of spring. For Bai Liben, this rain is even more beneficial and harmless... If the spring rain is not heavy, it will naturally have no impact at all; but if it starts raining and the ground is slippery, then the other party will be all light cavalry, and he will be able to ride both. Half, on the contrary, I took advantage here.
Fifteen miles away from the battlefield, young General Bai just felt a little raindrops appear in the air. At this time, a horse galloped from the west, which attracted Bai Liben to rein in his horse and slow down beside the road.
When the knight arrived, he had no time to dismount and reported the latest military situation:
"General, Liu Heifu noticed us, but instead of retreating farther west, he actually gathered troops and horses, abandoned the robbed food team, and came towards us!"
Bai Liben was angry at first, then happy, and then laughed.
After he finished laughing, he turned around on his horse and said loudly: "Did you hear that? This Liu Heifu is indeed a cunning thief! He found himself in crisis and actually wanted to scare us with his posture?! Do you believe it or not? If we really hesitate and wait for the infantry behind us, or if we are just stunned for a moment, he will rely on the cavalry to be negligent and immediately seize the opportunity to turn and flee!"
"Not bad!" The next team player agreed wholeheartedly and added. "It's very possible that they want to pull over from the southern line and try to join Cao Chen and Hao Yide!"
"How can we scare him?!" Bai Liben laughed while standing on his horse. "The entire army is now donning armor in advance, and then rush up to meet them! Let Captain Ding quickly lead the rear troops to follow! Once they are met, this guy can only retreat, and the time to escape is wasted!"
The surrounding knights agreed in unison. In order to reduce the burden of marching and increase the marching speed, the coalition cavalry, who were only wearing iron crotch crotches, accelerated and put on their robes, and then helped each other hang up their armor skirts and wrap their shoulder pads.
Bai Liben himself even took the lead in leaping on the horse after being fully clothed, and took the lead again.
It was only five miles away, and it was located on a plain. If the rain hadn't fallen and the view was slightly obstructed, the enemy would have been able to see the enemy. The sentry rider soon flew back to report: "General, the bandit army has stopped!"
This was a slightly delayed message, but it did not delay Bai Liben's determination, but he did not say anything. He just waved his hand and dismissed the sentinels, and continued to charge at a gallop with his troops.
After a while, after another five miles, the line of the Dragon Army was still nowhere to be seen. The Sentinel Cavalry came back panting and told the whole story: "General, the rebel army only paused for a moment before reining in their horses and retreating to the west. Go out in the rain!”
The surrounding knights were also overjoyed, and Bai Liben was even more excited and shouted: "Everyone! The bandit army is playing with the morale of the army and destroying itself. It is already a doomed situation. Our army can only move forward vigorously, and the bandit army will definitely collapse at the first touch!"
There was a loud shouting all around.
Facts have proved that Bai Liben's judgment was correct. Both sides were cavalry, but they began to gallop in the same direction when there was only a few miles away. However, there was soon intensive tactical contact, and these places where the two armies came into contact, The deposed dragon army cavalry indeed had no ability to fight back at all, they were completely chased and beaten!
Only a few miles away, the coalition forces needed to spread out their front, and the Dragon Army was all light cavalry, so it was impossible for them to fall into a full-scale battle quickly. For a while, the two sides chased each other, riding horses on the Hebei plain, but they moved at extremely fast speeds. Moving towards the west at a speed.
You must know that the cavalry's tactical maneuver and strategic maneuver are not the same thing. Under strategic maneuver, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, the commander will make the troops suppress the march speed to about 20 to 30 miles per hour. Long-distance marches will be based on the baggage speed. However, under perfect conditions, the tactical maneuver can reach almost two to three hundred miles per day, and at its peak, it can move forty or fifty miles in half an hour.
In other words, the restraint of strategic maneuvers is precisely for the madness of tactical maneuvers.
The two sides came into contact at noon, when the rain had just fallen, and when the rain wet the ground, the battle line had actually crossed the boundary between Wuyang County and Ji County, and dozens of corpses were scattered along the way, just on such a large battlefield. It seems too fragmented.
And pursuing further, Bai Liben actually saw Bowang Mountain in his field of vision despite the rain.
"General!" In the drizzle, someone from the army came to fight on horseback, but they still only communicated on horseback. "Bo Wang Mountain and the back of the mountain are places where soldiers are hiding. Should we slow down the pursuit and send troops to investigate?"
"Hiding soldiers, where did thieves come from and come from heaven to hide soldiers here?" Bai Liben stopped his horse for a moment and sneered.
"Reporting to the general, our defense line only reaches Liyangcang and ends at Qingzhang River. The other side of Qingzhang River is controlled by Qu Tuda's old troops, but these people have surrendered to the deposed dragon bandits before." Join the army and do their duty. "Therefore, although it is unlikely, the rebel army crossed the river from the west of Jijun, bypassed Liyangcang, and came from Tangyin."
"You're right, you should be credited for fulfilling your duties!" Bai Liben's expression softened slightly and he regained his composure. "But there is no need to slow down. The cavalry is pursuing the pursuit. If you let the thieves escape for a moment, you can send a team of people to investigate, and then tell Captain Ding to go to Bowang Mountain. If there are thieves, Then surround them, if not, then occupy Bowang Mountain, unite with the surrounding cities, and lock Liu Heifu and his men in this place!"
After the order was given, Bai Liben no longer had any worries. Instead, he repeatedly acted on his horse and shouted the order loudly: "Forward! Forward! The rebel army can't run very far. The Qingzhang River is thirty miles ahead. Within an hour, they will be defeated." I can beat the bandit army to death in Qingzhang River!"
That's right, Bai Liben's so-called fighter plane refers to this. He firmly believed in the whole process and constantly urged the entire army to move forward because of this:
The Qingzhang River passes behind Liyangcang and extends northwest to the battlefield, while the coalition's grain road is slightly shifted eastward because of the need for civilians from Wuyang County. At this time, Liu Heifu launched a surprise attack on the south side of the grain road in order to save the remaining two battalions of troops. Bai Liben led his troops to counterattack. As long as they were resolute, Liu Heifu and his troops could only go west. In the west, not only was the Qingzhang River the final obstacle, but also because this area was where Qu Tuda established the Liyangcang defensive position. There were many fortresses and there was Bowang Mountain, which in turn constantly restrained Liu Heisu's troops from advancing. The route made it impossible for them to escape easily, and they could only head towards the Qingzhang River.
As for what happened after Liu Heifu hit the Qingzhang River?
What can be the result?
It is nothing more than fighting with one's back against the water, or fleeing along the river... But there is nothing to say about the latter. Upstream is Liyangcang, which is the angle between the big river and the Goulian Qingzhangshui artificial canal, and it is also a dead end; downstream, I can call reinforcements in advance to intercept, but I don't know if Dou Li can hold on at the critical moment?
However, the Qingzhang River section in front of me is the uppermost part. If the river is shallow and Liu Heifu's men are all riding light horses, why choose floating horses to cross the water?
Thinking of this, Bai Liben, who was chasing after him, became a little nervous, but soon he realized that if this was the case, his own troops would also take off their armor and catch up!
With a determined mind, he continued to work hard.
Just like that, in the middle of the afternoon, before the rain penetrated the ground, Bai Liben successfully pushed Liu Heifu's troops to the Qingzhang River. At this time, General Bai noticed that the other side of the Qingzhang River was only three or four miles away. There is also a hill.
Sure enough, someone in the army immediately reminded him: "General, that's a mountain in vain. If the deposed dragon thief crosses the river on a light horse and a floating horse, can we chase him? What if there is an ambush behind the mountain?"
Bai Liben suppressed his impatience and asked seriously: "How many ambush troops can be hidden behind the mountain?"
"The mountain is not big, three or four thousand?" Jiang Jun made a tentative judgment.
"How likely is it to hide an ambush?" Bai Liben asked seriously.
"10%." After a pause, Joining the Army replied with the same seriousness. "Not even 10%... If there is an ambush, it must be the Henan Deposed Dragon Thief. However, the Henan Deposed Dragon Thief didn't move before, why did he move today? Just like the rumors, Sima Zheng went to Dongdu, and Henan happened to There has been a big movement in the past two days, but how did they pass through the western city of Jijun controlled by Qu Tuda's old tribe to ambush here without us knowing anything about it? Therefore, my subordinates boldly guessed that there must be no ambush in Wuren Mountain!"
"Well said!" Bai Liben shouted. "Command the entire army to press forward!"
"Everyone cross the river!" Almost at the same moment, Liu Heifu looked back at each other on the neat river embankment and issued military orders to the people around him. "After crossing the river, we all followed the command of the team general Liu Shi'e. Li Quji led his team to stay behind and follow me to seize the rear!"
When all the knights heard that Liu Heifu had made the decision in person, they all looked awe-inspiring without saying anything else.
Liu Shi'e, on the other hand, as a younger brother of the Liu Heifu clan, was considered a standard confidant. He had a military mission this time, so he probably knew something. He couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Chief, why do you want to cut off the queen yourself? Let's go together first." Yes, if something goes wrong, it’s not because we didn’t try our best.”
"Is this what you should say?" Liu Heifu was furious and whipped him directly. "Go over there and get your brothers ready as I told you before! Don't worry about anything else!"
Liu Shi'e received a whip and could only walk away in silence, but he took the lead in leading the crowd into the Qingzhang River.
Most of their troops are light cavalry, and most of them wear leather armor, but they are generally mixed with goggles or iron helmets. As for the officers, they should be wearing a full set of iron armor, but unexpectedly they only wear leather armor. It seems that someone has expected or prepared for it. Well, deal with some situations.
On the other side, Bai Li took the lead and charged forward. He saw the Liu-character flag in the distance in the drizzle, and saw a man wearing a black short cloak leading a group of people to gallop on the embankment, weapons dancing in his hands, and the light black weak water The zhenqi then sputtered in all directions. He didn't know it was Liu Heifu, so he was overjoyed for a moment.
When Liu Heifu saw the white flag and the glowing Qi, he naturally knew who was coming. He reined up his horse and drew his gun on the spot, shouting a challenge: "Taiyuan thief, do you dare to fight alone?!"
Bai Liben laughed, waved his gun first, and ordered the troops to disarm and pursue him. Then he clapped his horses to meet him, and fought with Liu Heifu on the river embankment.
The two sides fought for twenty or thirty seconds, most of the deposed dragon army had crossed the river, and the officers and soldiers had begun to land ashore. Bai Liben saw that the other party was calm and composed, and that he had outstanding skills, so he couldn't help but love his talents, and immediately asked from across the gun: "Liu Heifu, after what happened to the Deposed Dragon Gang, they will definitely be doomed. Why not surrender and come under the command of the British Lord? I will take care of you!"
Liu Heifu sneered when he heard this, but looked at the other side of the river.
Sure enough, the deposed dragon army there saw the pursuers disarming and pursuing them, and had already landed on the beach. However, under the command of Liu Shi'e, they suddenly counterattacked and tried to respond with a half-crossing attack.
Bai Liben didn't care at all about this, but laughed instead. Seeing that the other party didn't see through it, Liu Heicheng felt reassured, and the two of them immediately started fighting.
By this time, Bai Liben's deputy general Ding Duwei had arrived at Bowang Mountain and occupied the camp originally built by Qu Tuda. Soon, the de facto deputy general also received a message from the troops staying at the official road crossing. As expected, the two battalions of Cao Chen and Hao Yide counterattacked and tried to pull back the officers and soldiers.
Captain Ding had only one reaction, and that was to ask the sentry cavalry to convey the news to Bai Liben further west, and then let the whole army take a rest.
After all, so far, the coalition forces have not discovered any members of the Deposed Dragon Army beyond their expectations, and their advantages are obvious everywhere. Even if there are mistakes, it is also a problem on Bai Liben's front line. He only needs to wait here with his troops, Just follow the instructions.
Not long before this, thirty miles to the east on the south side of Bowang Mountain, beside the river, outside Chanyuan City, Dan Tonghai, the leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang, had been standing in the light drizzle for a long time. He looked sideways at the troops pouring into this place. The Deposed Dragon Gang had ruled the city of Hebei for four full years without saying a word the whole time.
Until his deputy general Liang Jiading came on horseback and said: "Brother, the city is ready, but I don't know if anyone who favors the army has escaped. After all, the city is so big..."
"It's too late to escape, and I don't know where to find anyone to report the news." Shan Tonghai sneered and looked away. "The sentry sent by Liu Heifu made it clear about the situation ahead...Bai Liben has divided his troops, so let's divide our troops too! Let Lu Er defend the city and control the retreat; you go to Bowang Mountain and eat the infantry; I am the only one with one battalion. Soldiers go to the bank of Qingzhang River to kill Bai Liben with Liu Heifu... If the officials and thieves escape, we must bite hard and maintain the advantage of our troops! If they are successfully annihilated, then divide our troops to help me!"
Liang Jiading was stunned for a moment and immediately reminded: "Bai Liben is one of the four generals in Taiyuan. Can the eldest brother and Liu Heifu work together to deal with it?"
"It doesn't matter!" Shan Dalang glanced at the other party again. "I will do it for myself in vain."
Liang Jiading was stunned for a moment and then became speechless.
The rain is slow and slow, slowly soaking into the spring ground. The fields along the way, even in the places abandoned because of the war, are full of wild seedlings, and they are green. And soon, the people on Bowang Mountain became aware of the new military situation.
"Two thousand armored cavalry?" Captain Ding was confused for a moment on Bowang Mountain. "Are you sure you are a knight?!"
"Yes...I can't say for sure. There is some rain now. It's not as clear as before. But when I get closer, I see mostly armored cavalry. Maybe I bumped into the officers gathered together." The sentry cavalry's head was full. It's all water, but I don't know if it's sweat or rain. "But the direction is accurate. It's coming from the southeast. It's not coming directly towards us. Instead, it's pointing towards the shore of Qingzhang River!"
"That's it." Captain Ding breathed a sigh of relief. "It should be that Cao Chen or Hao Yide came, separated a battalion, and tried their best to bypass the camp and come to rescue Liu Heifu... This should be a good thing! But it needs an order from General Bai! But it seems that there is no time to notify Bar?"
"Yes...yes!" Sentry Qi answered bravely, but he couldn't help but ask. "The cavalry is too fast. Even if we go to notify them again, I'm afraid it won't be too late."
Captain Ding fell silent, then walked towards the fence with his knife in his hand, and looked down into the somewhat hazy rain and fog. The rain was not heavy, and the nearby field of vision was still very clear, and the light was sufficient, but because it was half an afternoon The heavy rain has caused some water vapor, making the fields in the distance seem to have an extra layer of fog, and the green and gray are all mixed together.
Behind Captain Ding, the thousands of officers in the infantry, the soldiers and documents attached to them, including the newly arrived messengers and sentries, all looked nervously at the Captain of Linfen County, waiting for orders from the other party, but there were also Make your own considerations and be prepared to make comments when appropriate.
"Everyone, the situation is here. I don't think we can wait for General Bai's military order, because if the bandit army attacks from two sides and General Bai cannot withstand it, then it will really be someone who has his teeth pulled out. As subordinates, we are responsible for the whole process. If you follow the military order and save the troops, you will be punished." Captain Ding thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and made a decision. "On the other hand, if we no longer rest at this time, the entire army will be dispatched to join General Bai on the west bank of the river. Although it violates the military order, it will not cause any serious problems. Instead, it will help General Bai capture this battalion of reinforcements."
Everyone agreed and agreed, as if they were thinking in general.
No one is willing to continue marching in the rain, and no one is willing to fight desperately. To put it bluntly, no one is willing to come to Hebei in the first place. Since they can't occupy territory or get promoted, they would be more willing to go to Guanxi and fight against the Wu tribe. But the problem is that if something goes wrong with Bai Liben, as the main force of the Jin Dynasty integrated by the British Duke, we really can't explain it... Bai Liben is the real owner they are responsible for!
Therefore, even if you have no merit, you should still go.
When the superiors and subordinates agreed, they acted immediately. They abandoned the Bowangshan Dazhai they had just entered, gathered all their troops and horses, and plunged into the rain to the west, heading straight for the Qingzhangshui battlefield.
At the same time, we did not forget to send couriers and sentries everywhere to ensure that information was spread as smoothly as possible.
Of course, the problem now is that most of the troops of both sides have gathered in the triangular area in the southeast of Ji County, and they are very close to each other. What will happen next, I am afraid that the sentry cavalry can only speak for itself.
Sure enough, less than two-quarters of an hour after leaving Bowang Mountain and heading west, Captain Ding received another military intelligence report.
"Are you saying that the rebel army has turned to Bowang Mountain?" Captain Ding was obviously startled in the rain.
"Is this to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" The officer next to him was also shocked for a moment. "Is it still too late to go back now?"
"What if he turns to the west after returning?" some soldiers refuted. "Isn't it easy for him to mobilize?"
"That's wrong." Captain Ding forced himself to analyze calmly. "Didn't he save Liu Heicu? And when did he turn? They were all cavalry, and the cavalry was attacking. They had already reported that they had crossed the north-south line of Bowang Mountain two quarters of an hour ago. If he didn't turn, I'm afraid this would have happened. It's almost time to reach the battlefield, how can we get to Bowang Mountain?"
The sentry knight stopped talking.
"What do you want to say?" A team general next to him noticed it and stepped forward to grab the opponent and ask.
Obviously, at this time, everyone was already nervous.
"It's not cavalry, what I saw was infantry!" the Sentry Cavalry quickly reminded. "I saw a group of infantry heading towards Bowang Mountain from the south. Calculating the time, we still have about ten miles to go."
Captain Ding felt his head buzzing for a moment, and asked again: "Approximately how many people are there?!"
"I don't know..." Sentry Qi's reply was straightforward. "It was covered by rain, and because they went directly to Bowang Mountain, my subordinates didn't know that Bowang Mountain was empty, so they came over in a hurry, but there was always a battalion of soldiers from the Deposed Dragon Gang on the road in front of them!"
Captain Ding fell silent again, and the surroundings became quiet as well. There was only the rustle of rain, the grumbles of soldiers marching outside, and the sound of armor, armor, and swords rubbing against each other.
The reason is very simple. It is understandable that a battalion of cavalry appeared before, because there were originally two battalions of cavalry on the battlefield, and one battalion could also appear there, but now, another battalion of infantry appears?
There was no such battalion of infantry before!
There are only three battalions of Qingqi in the entire Jiaji County of Wuyang County! So where did this battalion of infantry come from?
"Cao Chen can't dismount and march, can he fool us?" A soldier laughed dryly.
But no one responded. From Captain Ding down, all the middle and high-level people present had dark faces.
Joining the army also became solemn and said slightly: "Then there are reinforcements, but I don't know where they come from?!"
"If there are other reinforcements, no matter where they come from, it is impossible for only one battalion to come!" Captain Ding's eyes widened. "Just now, the Sentinel Cavalry said that all they saw were armored cavalry. It may not be that they happened to bump into an armored officer. I'm afraid they just happened to be a battalion of serious armored cavalry!"
"If there were a serious battalion of armored cavalry, who would it be?" Joining the Army was still chattering, but he gave the answer. "Shan Tonghai?! It can't be Cheng Zhili or... or Bai... Manager Bai, right?"
"It's Dan Tonghai." Captain Ding's face was ferocious and his heart was cold. "And if Shan Tonghai comes from the southwest, I'm afraid Henan's deposed dragon thieves will be wiped out! Bring me a pen and paper. I want to write a personal letter to the British Duke before setting off to rescue General Bai!"
Everyone around them was shocked... They not only realized that they had fallen into the trap of the Deposed Dragon Gang, but also realized that because Bai Liben's light army rushed in at this time, there was no time to recall them, so they had to follow Captain Ding to fight desperately to save them. That "general of the clan"!
After all, Captain Ding was the deputy general and commander of the rear army. If he gave up on Bai Liben, he would undoubtedly die and his family would be implicated. But if he fought hard to save him, he would not necessarily die, and his family would be preserved no matter what.
As for people like myself, who asked them to be in the army?
Bai Liben tied up Captain Ding, and Captain Ding tied up people like him... With the class laws in the military, who can escape?
At this thought, many people started to think about giving it a try.
"who?!"
By the Qingzhang River, Bai Liben had reined up his horse on the inside of the river embankment and was about to go to the other side of the river. Hearing this, he was surprised for a moment, but then looked at the other side of the river again.
There, the Qingqi of the Deposed Dragon Gang clearly had the upper hand, while the Jin cavalry were just over half. However, both sides had crossed a river and were soaked in rain. Almost all of them seemed to be fished out of the water. In addition, The ground has become slippery, the movement is obviously slow, and the fighting is not fierce.
Only Liu Heifu could not hold on any longer, so he abandoned his horse and jumped over. More than half of the hundred or so cavalry behind him were killed or injured, so it was considered that the officers and soldiers had a clear upper hand.
"Shan Tonghai!" The person who came to report was extremely anxious. "Dan Tonghai Dan Dalang is here! It's not Cao Chen!"
Bai Liben turned around and reacted, but he was stunned.
The thing is that simple. What Captain Ding can think of, Bai Liben can also think of. At this time, in his field of vision, his infantry brigade is in the Bowang Mountain stronghold more than 20 miles behind him, and his two thousand elite cavalry He took off his armor, half on the other side of the river, and half on this side of the river.
Thinking back to Liu Heifu's actions in personally cutting off the queen, how could this leader of the younger generation of the Bai family not know that he had fallen into a typical fishing trap?
Liu Heifu and his men were the bait, the Qingzhang River and the triangle on the east bank were the fishing nets, the Shantong Sea and most of the Henan Deposed Dragon Army that would inevitably follow behind him were the harpoons, and he was the fish!
Bai Liben could even imagine where the other party crossed the river to hide behind him... Well, Chanyuan, the Hebei enclave occupied by the Dragon Slayer Gang from the beginning, was under the rule of the Dragon Slayer Gang for four full years, three times in between Changed hands!
But it's too late to think about this now.
Bai Liben took a few deep breaths. He knew that Dan Tonghai's cavalry was about to arrive and he had to make a decision.
"Cross the river!" The clan general looked to the other side of the river again and again, and came up with a tactical strategy that could definitely be called a brilliant plan at the moment. "Cross the river! As much as you can cross! Cross the river and break through Liu Heicheng, and walk as far as you can to the west! Go to Wu'an to gather!"
The surrounding knights were stunned, but they accelerated their movements across the river again.
Bai Liben himself kept his clothes and armor unchanged, dissipated all his energy according to the path of body-protecting energy, and then rode his horse down the Qingzhang River.
Qingzhangshui, Qingzhangshui, as the name suggests, means clear water. After the Wei Dynasty regarded Qingzhangshui and the official roads on both sides as the main tax transfer route to Hebei, it completely repaired the river, making the river embankments solid and the waterway smooth.
At this time, Bai Liben reined in his horse and entered the river. The surrounding golden light shone. On a rainy day, it was as if the sun was reflected in the river out of thin air. However, he was wearing armor and riding a horse without taking off his saddle during the whole journey. However, he actually faced the deep water without sinking, which was even more amazing. .
Liu Heifu also saw this scene, and he immediately reacted. Whether it was the loss of the Dantonghai, or the Dantonghai had arrived as he had guessed, forcing the other party to do this, at this moment, it was time for him, a Hebei scoundrel, to tell him again. It’s time for the people of the world to be so loyal and unparalleled!
Thinking of this, Liu Heifu no longer held back. He turned to look at his clan brother: "Liu Shi'e, this time you lead your team and follow me to pave the way!"
As he spoke, his body was hit by weak water and all his true energy was released, wrapping around his crotch horse, and then splashed around like black waves, and rolled like black flames. He also reined in his horse slowly and took the initiative to wait near the embankment.
A quarter of an hour after the two men fought again, the single-character banner appeared on the east bank of Qingzhang River, and as expected, it quickly swept away the officers and knights who had not yet crossed the river, and aroused uneasiness and chaos among the officers and knights on the other side of the river.
However, just when Dan Tonghai was about to ask his headquarters to follow the example of the people on the other side of the river, disarming and floating horses across the river, a scene that surprised the officers and soldiers on both sides of the river and the deposed dragon army appeared. On the east bank of Qingzhang River, a little north of the battlefield, suddenly thousands of people The soldiers lined up neatly and rushed towards the battlefield along the official road under the river embankment. The leader released obvious immortality energy. From a distance, it could be seen that he was actually a master of elixir condensation.
The visitors were none other than Lieutenant General Bai Liben, Linfen Commander Ding Jianren, and the infantry brigade Bai Liben left behind.
Hearing the noise, Bai Liben jumped up and saw this situation, but he was panicked. These infantry brigades were not in his plan. Now that they are here, they have become a burden.
As for Shan Tonghai, who was the first to bear the brunt, he looked at the rain, the ground, and the military formation in the distance, and immediately ordered: "Jiu Lang will stay with his team, Zhang Canjun will stay with his personal guards, and the rest of the army will Detour from the east side, trample and disturb the cavalry detachment, Wang Shenjun holds my flag and set off quickly, only gallop from the outer periphery of the group to the end of the bandit group, and then repeat like this!"
Everyone obeyed their orders.
When the cavalry brigade was activated, Shan Dalang ordered again: "Leave these two hundred people to dismount together and hold their spears behind me. I won't make a sound and I'm not allowed to make a sound!"
The remaining two hundred knights quickly dismounted in confusion.
As soon as he got off the horse, Shan Dalang abandoned his armor and the good armor with the goggles, changed into an ordinary helmet under the river embankment, hung up an iron crotch, and then held his own steel spear on the Hands, stepping forward on Liuhe boots.
At this time, the other side of the river was still in chaos. Liu Heifu and Bai Liben were both at a loss. There were no reinforcements from the army and infantry in their plans, and they were a little uneasy.
The key infantry brigade of the army had just arrived and knew nothing about the battlefield. Only the armored cavalry of the Dragon Army brigade suddenly activated, rolling through the flanks like thunder in the spring rain, but there were some gaps in the infantry line in the middle. So he stepped forward, causing the army infantry brigade that had just arrived on the battlefield to panic for a moment.
Among them, Captain Ding, although he was well prepared, could not help but station his horse and shout to reorganize his formation to defend against the cavalry.
Occasionally, I glanced over and saw Dan Tonghai's banner galloping away from the outside of the cavalry brigade towards the rear. I quickly assigned officers and soldiers to the rear to supervise the defense.
Then suddenly I heard another shout from the flank of the front army. When I looked back, I saw a group of infantrymen from the Deposed Dragon Army attacking with their best spear formation. They had not shouted before and only shouted when they reached the front. This was in my heart. First, I was relieved, then I was surprised... What I was relaxed about was that my formation was tight, and there were military formations blocking the sides and front. Don't worry about this. What was surprising was that the opponent actually had spear infantry. Does that mean there was already a battalion? The battle barracks of the Dragon Clan outside Shantonghai has arrived?
This situation is more difficult.
Especially when I saw Bai Liben when I first arrived, he was already on the other side of the river! And who knows how many soldiers and horses of the Deposed Dragon Gang should have arrived at the empty Bowang Mountain at this time and are rushing here.
What to do? !
Just as he was thinking about it, Shan Dalang saw an opportunity dozens of steps in front of him and used his true energy vigorously. Duanjiang's true energy wrapped around his long body, and it rose half a foot out of thin air. With just one wave of his strength, The soldier who was resisting in front of him was cut off even with his armor and body. After a wave, Shan Dalang roared with all his strength, his eyes widened, his eyebrows stood up, and then he charged with a long spear!
The long branch was attached with Duanjiang Zhenqi, which could be said to be indestructible. The soldiers in front, some with some cultivation, some strong and powerful, and even two tall Red Mountain Soldiers, all collapsed and got out of the way at this time, no one could stop them.
The bodyguards and knights on foot behind Shan Dalang were overjoyed, shouted, and tried their best to keep up.
Captain Ding was horrified when he saw this scene. Before he could react, Shan Dalang had already run up to him, then flipped his long spear and struck in front of him. Seeing this situation, he no longer dared to be careless. He only relied on his battlefield instincts to rein in his horse. At the same time, the true energy gushed out from under his feet, and he had to use the stirrups to leap and avoid.
However, before it was too late, Shan Dalang struggled to chop down the steel tree that had grown half a foot out of thin air due to Duanjiang's true energy. When it reached the midair, a brilliant light suddenly appeared, the true energy became even stronger, and the entire steel tree looked like white gold. The real energy of the entity solidified, and it became even bigger and longer!
Captain Ding was horrified, unable to dodge, and had no countermeasures. He was struck down by the opponent with a sword-like sword, which cut through the body's protective energy, cut off the shoulder armor, and penetrated three inches into his left shoulder!
Then he howled miserably, but Shan Tonghai took the opportunity to bully him, swung his giant spear, and chased and slashed him one after another.
For a moment, the captain himself didn't know why he sat down on his horse. The soldiers, soldiers, and officials around him, including their mounts and the flags beside them, were all cut open like leaves, and pieces of meat and armor scattered into the air. , fell again.
After a while, in the circle of Duanjiang Zhenqi, Captain Ding gradually became silent. Shan Dalang withdrew his magical power and only took a glance. When he saw the corpse of the other party, he went straight forward, held his head in his hand, and then No matter what the war is going on here, it's just like a stream of light rising up and jumping to the other side of the river. It's like entering and exiting no one's land.
The people around him, including the tribesmen who followed Shan Tonghai to make the surprise attack, were all stunned.
The military formation beside Captain Ding had already collapsed.
On the other side, Bai Liben noticed that the second burst of Duanjiang Qi on the other side far surpassed his own. Then he saw an obviously huge Duanjiang Qi coming across the river. He was already frightened. When the opponent landed, he threw his head down. Immediately frightened.
"Are you Bai Liben?" In the drizzle, Shan Dalang stood on the river embankment, laughed loudly, and pointed to the head on the ground with his long head. "Shan Tonghai, the leader of the Jiyin Xingtai of the Deposed Dragon Gang, is here with the troops of the fifth battalion of Xingtai! I wonder if the men and women here in Hebei have forgotten me, Shan Dalang!"
Bai Liben remained silent for a while.
But Liu Heifu suddenly smiled: "Bai Liben, after this encounter, the Taiyuan Army will definitely be doomed. Why not surrender and come to our Deposed Dragon Gang? Don't tell me that Manager Bai will take care of you when the time comes. Even I, Liu Heifu, can do it." Take care of you!"
Bai Liben looked at the two people in front of him and was silent for a few breaths again. Then without any hesitation, he summoned up the largest amount of energy in his life, kicked off his horse, jumped up to the west, and fled away with all his strength.
