Father can be an enemy to the country

The ordinary general surnamed Ping in the mouth of the two Mongolian princes was naturally Ping An.

He wanted to go to the front line with all his heart, so he looked for connections through connections, and he turned to Lao Liu for help. Last month, the transfer order he had been waiting for finally came - ordering him to be transferred from the Shandong Capital Commander to the Liaodong Capital Commander.

In these years, Liaodong was part of Shandong, and the area under the capital of Liaodong was small and pitiful. He undoubtedly moved to the left from Shandong to Liaodong.

But Ping An was so happy that he jumped three feet high, handed over seals to the successor officials, and took a boat in Dengzhou to go straight to Liaodong.

As a result, when I arrived in Liaoyang, I discovered, Damn, there is no fighting here... After the Ming army occupied Tongliao, the Yuan army could not return to the northeast at all.

This is of course a good thing for the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong, but for Ping An, her mother is cheating. I came to the Northeast from Shandong to fight, not to play in the mud!

Fortunately, Liaodong still has some contact with the front line. After the military rations were transported by sea, land transportation fell to the Liaodong Dusi.

As a result, the dignified commander of the capital actually went to Huludao, snatched his subordinates' errands, and became the escort officer himself.

He also asked that all the coachmen be replaced by regular troops, but he didn't know what his intention was.

This was the first tip of his new official's appointment, and he was naturally very energetic. From the driver to the escorting cavalry, they were all elite troops selected from the Liaodong Dusi. It is important that the new chief cannot find fault.

In fact, Ping An's idea is very simple. After arriving, he will rely on the prince not to leave, and he will have to fight for the upper and lower levels.

If he only escorts grain and grass from the rear, does he count as participating in the war or not participating in the war, or... as if he is participating in the war?

The so-called never forgetting, there must be repercussions. Ping An's obsession with fighting on the battlefield seemed to have moved God, making him addicted to participating in the war before he arrived in Daning.

And it's the kind that's caught off guard...

~~

At that time, the convoy had already passed the Songling Mountains and was heading to the Daqing Mountains.

Ping An looked around and saw green mountains and excellent scenery.

If you are a literati poet, you can probably recite poems and compose poems, such as "Crossing the Daqing Mountain".

However, from the perspective of people like Ping An, this place is very dangerous.

"If we have a cavalry ambush on the hillsides on both sides." He frowned and said to Taikang, the commander of the Guangning Guards on the side: "Then pinch the front and back, and we will become turtles in the urn."

"Captain, you are worrying too much. This is the rear. We have gone back and forth so many times and we have not seen a single shadow of the Yuan army." Taikang smiled and said to Ping An.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Ping An's pupils shrank sharply, and he ordered the whole army to stop advancing. Then he turned over and dismounted, took a listener and lay on the ground to listen. After a while, he suddenly stood up and said sternly: "No, there is an ambush, the whole army is in a hurry." Array!"

"Ah? No way..." Taikang said in surprise.

"No way!" Ping An pointed to the mid-air on the hillsides on both sides: "Look at the smoke and dust rising!"

"Ah? It's really..." Taikang also saw yellow dust flying on the back of the mountains on both sides, which was a sign that a large group of cavalry had passed by!

~~

Amidst the sharp police whistles, the Ming soldiers quickly untied the ropes and separated the mules, horses and grain carts. Gather the horses to the center, and then use grain carts to form two circles around the outside. To protect the grain, horses and drivers in the array.

The Central Plains Dynasty had a tradition of using chariot formations to fight against nomadic cavalry. From Wei Qing's Wugang chariots to Huan Daoji's chain chariots, by the Ming Dynasty, chariot formations had developed into a complete tactical system.

It is the only way for baggage troops to fight against cavalry. But no matter which car formation it is, there is an unsolvable problem - from the marching state to the formation, it takes at least half an hour.

Most of the time, the two armies encounter each other.

It is rare for both sides to agree on a time and place, set up their respective formations, and then the nomadic cavalry charge, while the Central Plains Dynasty relies on a solid car formation to defend, this kind of well-prepared scene.

The cavalry is always flexible and unexpected, and will never give you a chance to fully prepare.

It's the same this time. When the cavalry of the Yuan Army appeared on the hillsides on both sides, the Ming Dynasty's chariot formation was only half-formed, and it was too messy to form a combat effectiveness.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on the cavalry to take the initiative to contain the Yuan army's cavalry and buy time for the chariots and camps to line up!

This is the biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty chariot formation and the Song Dynasty chariot formation. The Song army's chariot formations mainly relied on crossbows and did not rely heavily on cavalry. As a result, they seemed to have strong firepower, but they were beaten to pieces every time before they could set up a formation.

This is also the biggest difference between the army of a strong country and the army of a weak country.

No matter what the circumstances, the military of a powerful country will never give up its initiative to attack. No matter how chaotic the situation is, we must use offense to stabilize our position!

Pingan and Taikang each led two thousand cavalry to meet the Yuan army rushing down the hillside from the left and right.

Pingan was on the north slope and faced 10,000 cavalry led by Hong Boyan Timur.

After the two sides exchanged fire, the Yuan army, relying on their large number of troops and a low-down attack, rushed forward and took the initiative to engage in hand-to-hand combat. We must quickly eliminate these two thousand Ming troops with hand-to-hand combat...

The soldiers of the Ming army were fearless, raised their horses one after another, followed their general, and slammed into the overwhelming Yuan army with an arrow formation!

For a moment, the sound of gold and iron, screams, and shouts of killing shook the valley, causing birds to fly everywhere in shock!

However, what Hong Boyan never expected was that during a hand-to-hand fight between the two sides, it was his own Chinese army who was killed. Obviously his military strength was several times that of the Ming army, but he was still cut in half like tofu with a sharp knife.

The reason is simple. The Ping An, who he called "ordinary", is comparable to the peak double-sword king!

Sixteen years later, Ping An repeatedly killed through the central army of the Jingnan Army and rushed to the front of Yan Wang Zhu Di. If he hadn't had too many ideas, he could have killed Zhu Di several times... This is what Zhu Di said himself.

Ping An is now just 30 years old, and his physical functions are at their peak. In terms of his ability to charge into battle, he is even more terrifying than sixteen years later.

So what if the attack from above is not favorable, and so what if the troops are insufficient, just like Zhang Wenyuan back then, when the attack is sharp to a certain extent, these are not a problem...

Ping An's iron spear is as fast as lightning, and all the enemies in front of him are stabbed down with one shot. The scimitars in the hands of the Yuan army can't resist his magic spear at all, and even those generals who usually boast of their bravery are not his opponents.

All the Yuan army rushed to him, and then screamed and fell off their horses. The Yuan army behind him hadn't reacted yet, and he rushed to him again and stabbed him down with one shot!

Who can stand this? The Yuan army was horrified and retreated to the sides. No one dared to block his way... Hong Boyan watched as the troops in front of him moved away. The Ming army general with a white horse and a silver spear rushed towards him!
