Chapter 115 Breaks at a Touch
Li Yan probably guessed that Niu Jinxing was hurting him, but he didn't say it.
With the character of Hong Niangzi, if she knew the mystery, she would probably have to explode. Maybe she would turn around and go back to find trouble for Niu Jinxing. However, it would not help but cause trouble.
In fact, Li Yan's guess is not wrong.
That night, Niu Jinxing received the news from Li Yan. After knowing that Xiangcheng had been occupied by the enemy, Niu Jinxing's heart was indeed a little shocked, but then he thought of the upcoming fate that Li Yan could not help but feel relieved.
Niu Jinxing hates Li Yan not only because Li Yan once accused him of not assisting King Chuang. Niu Jinxing is good at calculating and has a heart that is twists and turns, but his vision is insufficient, and he is limited to internal struggle for power and profit. Li Yan is more talented than Niu Jinxing, so he feels jealous and is afraid that Li Yan will replace his position in Li Chuang's mind. This is the root cause.
"Although the man in the south is powerful, Li Guo and others are all killed at his hands. But when counting it, they all launched a sudden attack. It was not the army's military attack, but the power of one person. It's insignificant. The King of Chuang has hundreds of thousands of troops and a million people. He has the power of Mount Tai to press the top. Why not be afraid of him? That person may be an alien, but there are three people under the King of Chuang. Haha... Why not kill people with a knife first, wait until Li Yan is dealt with, and then ask the King of Chuang to send troops and crush them to pieces."
Now that I had a certain plan, I pressed the news and said to the left and right: "It is a critical moment to open the seal of the King of Chuang. I can't disturb you. Here I have my own area."
...
The moon sets and the sun rises, and there is nothing to say all night.
Li Yan was not at peace this night. He was afraid that the enemy would attack at night, so he had to patrol every half hour and there was no rest at all. He spent the night nervously, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the sun had risen.
Even if the soldiers were ordered to bury the pot and cook rice.
Only when the sun was rising, soldiers came to report: "There were thousands of enemy troops coming."
Li Yan was excited: "But find out the details of the enemy? Who is leading the troops?"
"I saw a big banner with the word "Ying" written on it, embroidered with three heads and six arms, and was full of vicious faces. There were about seven or eight thousand infantry and cavalry, and the army was regular, so I thought it was an elite."
Li Yan was stunned when he heard this: "Ying?"
He asked to the left and right: "Can there be a general named Ying under Ding Qirui?"
Everyone shook their heads and didn't even know.
Li Yan's heart sank slightly. He didn't know that there was a general named Ying under Ding Qirui's command. However, he knew that the big banner embroidered by the three-headed and six-armed demon god was the Chiyou flag.
The Hong Niangzi was clever and said to him, "Seven or eight thousand infantry and cavalry are not small numbers. They must be the soldiers and horses of the court."
Li Yan nodded, said without comment, "Try again."
After retreating and prosecuting, Li Yan said to Hong Niang: "Yesterday his scout was still covering up, but today he was promoting troops. It seems that he was determined to hold on to me. You sent an order to ask the soldiers to set up a formation and set up guns and cannons. I will fight him based on this hill."
The Hong Madam looked worried: "All the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, I'm afraid..."
I am afraid that a charge cannot be stopped and will be defeated.
Why didn't Li Yan know? He said: "It's over this matter. Could it be that you told me to withdraw my troops? If I could withdraw my troops, I would withdraw my troops yesterday. I died on the battlefield and could still fully realize my reputation as Li Yan. If I retreated and beheaded by Niu Jinxing, I would be so shameless."
The Hongniang looked sad and speechless for a moment. After a long time, she said: "How great would it be if you and I didn't come to the King of Chuang and just found a mountain to be my own mountain king."
Li Yan laughed and stroked Hongniang's face with his rough hands, saying, "I'm sorry for you. The Shan Dawang is just a joke. The world's general trend will eventually come to a certain degree. If the new dynasty is established, how can the Shan Dawang Xiaoyao be there? You and I will die here together today, and this life will not be in vain."
The Hongmao showed a hint of shyness.
Soon after, the probe reported: "The enemy has reached ten miles away."
Soon after, the probe came again: "It has reached five miles away."
Li Yan stood on the hill and waved his hand: "I have seen it."
I saw a dark line surging under the sun, gradually becoming clear. A big flag was facing the wind and the enemy had arrived.
The eight thousand old and weak under Li Yan's command were in agitation at this time, and there was a buzz. It is okay for these old, weak, sick and disabled to strengthen their voices, but if they were above the battle formation, how could they have any fighting spirit?
Li Yan could see clearly, but sighed and did not move.
These old and weak soldiers have no room for command. If they fight with the wind, they will be of some use to rush forward. If they fight with the tough battle, they will be useless.
He called the Hongniang: "So quickly choose some pretty strong ones, and take on the battle later. Follow my instructions. Only by killing the enemy generals can we turn the world around."
The Hongniang knew it and went to select soldiers.
At this time, Ying Yi's troops had reached two miles. Li Guo hurriedly asked someone to give up the cannon formation, with ten cannons, Fran machine cannons, and tiger squat cannons.
"Listen to my order, and all the cannons will be bombarded."
But before he finished speaking, someone fired a gun.
There was a roar, and then there were intermittent and ten cannons began to slam.
For a moment, Li Yan's face turned red.
Ying Yi's army was in camp step by step. The spearmen held guns like forests, protecting the cannon formation. The cavalry on the left and right wings hovered, and the army advanced like a wall, bringing huge pressure to the bandits. The bandits could not bear it, and before Ying Yi's army reached the corresponding distance, they could not help but fire the cannons.
Not only did they fire cannons, but even the gunners also began to fire guns randomly.
Ying Yi sat upright on the back of the horse, and saw this pointing at the bandits and laughing, "This kind of thief will collapse as soon as he rushes."
Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu both laughed.
Ying Yi said: "Call the horse team to tease the thief."
At the moment, the two wings of the horses were scattered, but they were not able to train for enough, but when facing the artillery array, the more scattered the better. When the bandits saw Ying Yi coming out of the horses, they were in a mess. The artillery array in front of the formation was turbulent, and several cannons turned to the left and several cannons turned to the right, almost not in charge.
Ying Yi laughed: "The army accelerated its advance, and when it reached one mile, first use cannons to destroy the thief army's artillery formation."
As the flag slogged, the army surged. Taking advantage of the riots of the enemy's artillery formation, they were attracted by the cavalry and quickly went a mile away. The spearmen moved away from both sides, and the central army pushed out the cannons, quickly loaded them up, filled them with gunpowder, and were about to bombard the bandits.
Li Guo was anxious to see it and hurriedly asked his horse team to fight, hoping to repel Ying Yi's horse team. However, Li Yan's thieves and horse team did not move forward and did not dare to fight. He only bombarded the bombardment for several rounds, but he did not kill many people under Ying Yi's horse team.
Seeing that Ying Yi's army approached and set up a cannon cart, Li Yan sighed and closed his eyes.
The rumbling cannon sounded in his ears, and the bandits were beaten into a mess in the front of the hill. With only three rounds of artillery attacks, the bandits were killed by all the shotguns of Ying Yihu's squatting cannons, and the gun formation was suddenly silenced.
