Ming politicians

() (Thanks to the setting sun of the empire and the master of Bozhai Hall for the precious monthly tickets, and thanks to tang123jun for the reward, thank you.)

At Chen Shi, when the team set off, the weather was gloomy, which seemed to indicate that it would be difficult to survive this day.Su Tiancheng's expression was composed, with a smile on his face, he looked very relaxed. He knew that his emotions were very important.

There were too many suspicious points, and even he himself could not analyze the reason.

Why did Fang Ming blatantly follow behind? Could it be that he was sure of victory? Although the fighting power of the bandits was much stronger than that of the bandits, they were not so arrogant. After all, the one who followed him was the Xiaoqi Battalion in the Nanjing Jingying Battalion. , The fighting power is extraordinary.

Why didn't Fang Ming do it in Henan? The most convenient time was when he was doing disaster relief in Mengjin County. He often took a dozen or so people with him and went directly to the countryside. Not to mention 2000 or 100 bandits, that would be fine. Guaranteed to take his own life, didn't Fang Ming know how to seize the opportunity?

The core question was how Fang Ming knew his whereabouts. According to the usual practice, he was going back to the capital. He would only return to Jiangning County after seeing the emperor and handing in the imperial edict and monk Fang's sword. Suddenly, I went straight home. This is an extremely rare situation. On the way, I didn't bother any officials in Henan, and I didn't go to town to stay. I just wanted to go home early, but Fang Ming seemed to know very well. .

There are a lot of problems, and I dare not think deeply about them. After much deliberation, there will be problems.

In the place of Eagle Mouth Valley, the valley is not long.It is only about five hundred meters, and the peaks on both sides of the valley are not big.It was very steep, and it was impossible for cavalry and infantry to ambush on the hillsides on both sides. Even if they set up an ambush, they would fight face to face. The road in the valley was very wide, and six horses could pass in parallel.It would be foolish to set up an ambush in such a place for the benefit of the cavalry charge. It is impossible for Fang Ming not to know why he chose to stay here.

Of course, Yingzui Valley is very desolate, and there are no people around.No one will choose to rest here, which is beneficial, no matter how many people fight here, the government will not be alarmed.

There are many questions that Su Tiancheng can't figure out, although he has some guesses.But coping with the immediate predicament is the most important thing.Along the way, he discussed carefully with the officers of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and there was no other way.It can only be head-to-head.Now that they have put on the stance of a decisive battle, let's fight against it.

One thousand and three hundred people.Against 300 people, it is a disadvantage in terms of the number of people, but the equipment of the Xiaoqi Battalion is excellent, with swords, spears, bows and arrows, and everyone is wearing armor. It is impossible for rogues to have such equipment. Besides, the rogues are accustomed to mobile combat, so they may not be familiar with this kind of positional warfare.

The scouts brought back news continuously. In the direction of Yingzui Valley, the rogues were still waiting, and the rogues at the back of the team followed unhurriedly, without caring.

At noon, the sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion finally understood the situation they were facing.

No one showed fear, more anger. As an elite in the imperial army, he was so despised by the rogues, and followed swaggeringly, as if he had a chance to win. This is a kind of extreme contempt. Not letting go of this tone, the team slowly revealed a desperate momentum.

Morale can not be discouraged.

Su Tiancheng deeply understands this truth.

At the time of You, a large group of people set up camp two miles away from Yingzui Valley.

The officers of Xiaoqi Battalion, Deng Hui, Liu Tiehan and others entered Su Tiancheng's tent.

The pre-battle deployment begins.The first thing to be implemented is whoever walks in the front of the team and enters the eagle's mouth valley first.Although the terrain was already clear, the front sergeant encountered the greatest danger, and after the fighting started, the casualties were also the greatest.

Several generals of the Xiaoqi Battalion pleaded for orders one after another, asking to be the vanguard.

Just when everyone was arguing, Liu Tiehan spoke up.

"My lord, all generals, I lead more than 100 brothers and walk in the front."

There is a general from the Xiaoqi Battalion who is about to reprimand Liu Tiehan. After all, Liu Tiehan was a bandit before. At such an important juncture, the vanguard must not make any major mistakes, otherwise it will affect the morale.

Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop it, and asked Liu Tiehan to continue talking.

"I say this for a reason. The Xiaoqi Battalion is cavalry. Most of the rogues ambushing in Eagle's Mouth Valley are infantry. If they set up spear formations, they will definitely block the cavalry's charge and cause great casualties. , The brothers I am leading can charge in the front, disrupting the spear array of the rogues, while the Xiaoqi Battalion charges in the rear, the effect is much better."

Just after Liu Tiehan finished speaking, Deng Hui also spoke.

"My lord, all generals, I feel that what Liu Tiehan said is reasonable. I have had contact with the rogues before. Even if the first shower of arrows passes, the formation of the rogues will not be chaotic. At this time, If the Xiaoqi battalion charges, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. Liu Tiehan and his brothers charge ahead, which can effectively disrupt the formation of the rogues. The Xiaoqi battalion seizes the opportunity to charge and can inflict the greatest damage on the rogues."

Su Tiancheng looked at Deng Hui and Liu Tiehan, and didn't speak for a long time. Even the generals of the Xiaoqi Battalion fell into deep thought.

The spear array is the best way to deal with the cavalry. One inch is long and one inch is strong. When the cavalry charges, the first thing they face is the spear. The biggest advantage lies in the impact force. Facing Leng Sensen's spear, it is indeed difficult to exert its maximum effect, and it will cause a lot of casualties.

After a long time, a general of the Xiaoqi Battalion spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that such an arrangement is reasonable, but the brothers led by Liu Tiehan may suffer heavy casualties."

The formation of troops was quickly implemented.

After entering the valley, facing the rogues, facing the enemy, there are 110 brothers led by Liu Tiehan in front, killing a bloody road, charging for the cavalry, creating the best opportunity, and there are four hundred guards from the cavalry battalion behind. To deal with the rogues from behind, we must Within half an hour, they rushed out of Eagle's Mouth Valley, and after going out, there was an open area outside, where the cavalry could play its role to the maximum and inflict maximum damage on the rogues.

Of course, the first thing was to shoot arrows. After several rounds of arrow rain, Liu Tiehan led his brothers to charge.

Choushi, the brigade moved quietly, leaving behind tents one by one.

The surrounding area was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to reach out. The sergeants at the back followed the sergeants in front, and their horses were wrapped in hooves and put on bridles. There were rustling sounds from all around, and no one could be heard.

Two miles, half a quarter of an hour, it will arrive.

At the mouth of Yingzui Valley, everyone stopped, because Su Tiancheng in front stopped.

Soon, Wang Dazhi lit the torch.

The generals of the Xiaoqi Battalion were very surprised. They didn't know why. In the previous discussion, they would only light the torches as a last resort. It is best to launch an attack in the dark.

"Brothers, all light the torches."

Soon, a fire dragon appeared, and the surrounding area was brightly illuminated.

"Brothers, everyone knows our situation. There are [-] rogues ambushing in Eagle's Mouth Valley, and [-] rogues are following behind us. They thought, attacking us back and forth, and their performance The brothers all know it, as if the chances of victory are in their hands, as if our Xiaoqi battalion is vulnerable, as if we can wipe out all of us. I know the feelings of the brothers. As a soldier, being despised by others is the greatest shame. Now that they despise us , then we have to show courage and let the rogues see who will annihilate whom.”

"Swords and swords are ruthless. In this fight, we have no reinforcements before us, and we have pursuers behind us. It can be said that we have encountered the worst situation, but I ask brothers to remember a sentence. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. We are the army of the imperial court and the Nanjing Jingying The best of the best is the imperial court's elite troops, we are all excellent soldiers, only under such circumstances can we unleash the strongest fighting power, brothers, let the rogues tremble under our horseshoes."

After a few simple sentences, the sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion were already blushing, and Liu Tiehan and others who were walking in the front were eager to try. In front of the sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion, it was their best chance to prove themselves.

Only 100 meters into the Yingzui Valley, bandits appeared ahead.

The rogues obviously didn't expect that the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion would come in with torches, illuminating the entire valley brightly, and their figures could no longer be concealed.

Soon, the rogues also lit the torches.

The generals of the Xiaoqi Battalion gasped when they saw the roadblock ahead.

The ground was full of crushed stones. These stones were sharpened. If the cavalry charged and the horses stepped on them, the consequences would be disastrous. They couldn't help looking at Su Tiancheng. They didn't expect that Su Tiancheng could predict the future and avoid heavy casualties.

The rogues on the opposite side had already lined up their spear formations, and the sergeant was holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, ready to fight.

Liu Tiehan's Deng Hui's prediction was not wrong.

Although the road in the valley is wide, the terrain is narrow. The rogues' spear formations stand densely on the road. There are no gaps on both sides. Just a few rounds of arrow rain pass by, and the rogues hold their shields to guard against them. Filling the position, the cavalry charged at this time, causing incalculable casualties.

In front of the rogue team, there was a man riding a war horse.

This is a middle-aged man, with a pale face, covered with haze, and even the anger in his eyes can be seen.

"I'm Fang Ming, Master Su please come out and speak."

The sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion had already drawn their bows and set up their arrows, waiting for Su Tiancheng's order. As for Liu Tiehan in front, he was even more prepared to charge after the rain of arrows.

Su Tiancheng smiled slightly. Fang Ming was very smart. At this moment, he was still thinking about trying his best to suppress the morale of the Xiaoqi Battalion. How could he ignore such a recognized provocation.
