Chapter 247: If you are not called Qingping, you can’t be happy (16)

When Li Yuanhao's troops arrived at Jinming Village, the Bao'an Army and Chengping Village on the left and right of Jinming Village were also attacked by two other waves of Xia soldiers.

Chengping Village was guarded by Xu Huaide, who was very greedy and stingy. Although he was morally corrupt, he was still a good leader, ten times better than Li Shibin and Fan Yong. [He had a cousin who wanted to take her land after she died because he had no son. He was accused and later dismissed from his military power, but was later re-employed because of the war.]

As long as Li Yuanhao's main force was blocked by Lu Changqing in Jinming Village, Xu Huaide could completely defend Chengping Village.

The problem came from the Baoan Army. The troops in this place were guarded by Lu Shouqin, a relative of Lu Changqing. When he heard that Li Yuanhao was leading an army of more than 100,000 this time, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he rode away quietly on his horse.

When Liu Ping and his companions saw Lu Shouqin knocking at the city gate, they were so angry that they almost chopped him to death.

The soldiers were still killing the enemy at the front, but the commander ran away first. What's going on?

Guo Zun received the order and led a hundred cavalrymen from Yanzhou. He passed Sanchuankou and entered the Bao'an Army overnight to command the soldiers in battle.

Seeing that Jinming Village was in turmoil, Li Yuanhao personally beat the war drum to boost morale, hoping to capture Jinming Village in one fell swoop.

Besides being well-equipped, there was another reason why Li Yuanhao's heavy cavalry was invincible.

Li Yuanhao divided the 3,000 elite cavalry into ten teams, with several people in each team and connected to each other with iron chains. In this way, even if one of them was killed by the enemy, he would not fall off his horse, but continue to charge the enemy in a dense formation. [There are different opinions on this. Some people think that the soldiers tied themselves to their horses to prevent their bodies from falling into the hands of the enemy after they died in battle.]

In order to prevent Li Yuanhao's Iron Harriers from rampaging through Jinming Village, Lu Changqing had ordered people to drive a number of wooden stakes on the main road between the villages.

As long as you are not afraid of getting entangled in the wooden stakes, you can use an iron chain to pull it if you have the ability.

The earth shook and the shouts of killing outside the city shook the sky.

The village where Lu Changqing lived was at the northernmost end, so it was naturally the first to be hit.

Lu Changqing blew the whistle, and the sharp and rapid sound instantly cut through the air.

The drums sounded, one after another, from one village to another.

Thousands of arrows were shot from the village, and the painful cries of soldiers were heard from the front.

Then there were successive explosions, the sound was louder and crisper than firecrackers.

The ancients were not stupid. Since they all knew that firecrackers were dangerous and could easily injure people, this technology was naturally applied in wars.

So they invented something called the rocket. It wasn't a rocket that flew into the sky, but an arrow with explosives tied to it that was shot into the enemy camp. Its power was certainly not as great as the hand grenade of later times.

It may not kill people, but it can scare them and even scare horses.

Lu Changqing also had people make some fire caltrops, which he used a catapult to throw at the crowd.

I originally wanted to make a few explosive packs to scare people, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough gunpowder.

The attacking Xia soldiers were beaten back by the various weapons of Jinmingzhai.

Li Yuanhao, who had been supervising the battle in the rear, was so shocked when he received the news that his eyes almost popped out.

How is it possible that they can’t even break through the gate of the village?

Didn't he send about 4,000 soldiers to pretend to surrender and enter the city? He also paid money to bribe other people in the village who were dissatisfied with Li Shibin. How come after such a long time, he couldn't get in even once?

Zhang Yuan said in annoyance: "Oh no, Your Majesty, we may have been deceived!"

Li Yuanhao's face changed when he heard this, "What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"

"We have not been able to capture Jinming Village yet. I suspect that the people in Jinming Village may have seen through our plan. The 4,000 soldiers we sent out earlier may have been killed by Li Shibin."

"How could that be? We haven't received any news!"

Zhang Yuan suggested: "Your Majesty, we cannot lose our troops here. Jinming Village is probably well prepared. We should withdraw our troops to Chengping Village. The number of garrisons there is much smaller than that of Jinming Village. When the time comes, we can unite our forces and definitely take down Chengping Village."

Li Yuanhao was still reluctant to give up Yanzhou, which was so close to him. He came here originally to take over Yanzhou. If he went east to Chengping Village, it would mean giving up Yanzhou.

Zhang Yuan advised again, "Your Majesty, we previously released the news that we were going to attack Tumen, and later we learned that Liu Ping led 3,000 troops to garrison Yanzhou. However, we have not received any information that Liu Bing led troops to the north to assist Tumen, which means that their plan is to abandon Tumen and defend Yanzhou City to the death.

We have not been able to capture Jinming Village yet. If we take a detour to Yanzhou, then the troops of Jinming Village and Liu Ping will join forces to besiege us outside Yanzhou City, and we will be in a more passive position. "

Li Yuanhao was so angry that he slammed the table. "Our plan was flawless. How could Li Shibin, who is stubborn, ignorant and arrogant, see through our plan so quickly?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not Li Shibin."

"Who could it be? Could it be that woman named Bai?"

"Maybe, but Your Majesty, don't be afraid. No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman after all." Zhang Yuan said contemptuously.

The sound of retreat drums was heard outside the village.

The formation is most likely to be disrupted when retreating. Lu Changqing ordered people to beat drums and personally led 3,000 elite soldiers to break out of the village gate to block the enemy's subsequent retreat.

The blame lies with Li Yuanhao, who was overconfident and cruel. He wanted to wipe out Jinming Village in one fell swoop, so he divided his troops into several groups, which gave Lu Changqing and the others the opportunity.

When Li Yuanhao saw that his rear army was intercepted, he wanted to turn back to rescue them, but was stopped by Zhang Yuan.

"The enemy's morale is high at the moment. If we engage them head-on, we will inevitably be in for a tough fight."

Lu Changqing didn't even have time to count the heads and supplies he had captured. When he learned that Li Yuanhao had led his team to the east, he immediately wrote a letter and asked Xiaoxue to help deliver it to Yanzhou. He also ordered Liu Ping to lead his troops to Jinmingzhai to meet up with her and support Chengpingzhai together.

Li Yuanhao was chased all the way to Shouzhou by Lu Changqing and Liu Ping with 6,000 light cavalry. As soon as he entered the city, he received news that Zhe Jimin, the commander of the Song army, and Zhang Ke, the leader of Rouyuan Village, had attacked the two clans of Polang Huang and Dang'er, beheaded the army leader Ao Bao, and replaced Wang Zhongbao, and led troops into Helan Valley and defeated the foreign general Luo Bu at Changji Ridge.

Not only did his attempt to make a feint to the east and attack in the west fail, but his rear base was also stolen. Li Yuanhao was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

When Lu Changqing returned to the village, Li Shibin had already brought his men to clean out the captured supplies.

Lu Changqing took the booklet from Zhou Cai and asked Li Shibin to stamp it with his seal. Then he copied another copy and stamped it with both of their seals.

Afterwards, he sent someone to Yanzhou to inform Fan Yong and asked him to send someone to count and then stamp it.

Finally, we just have to wait for someone to send this good news back to the capital.

After the victory, Li Shibin paid for the slaughter of cattle and sheep out of his own pocket without Lu Changqing saying anything, and the whole village had a good meal.

This time it was a huge loss, but Li Shibin was happy.

"This time, thanks to Deputy Envoy Bai, Li Yuanhao was very aggressive this time. If it weren't for your advance deployment, we wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily."

"No, no, I have to thank Li Dujian for trusting me and handing the entire village over to me. It is also thanks to the cooperation of the villagers in the village. Everyone is united, so we can repel Li Yuanhao in one fell swoop."

In the past, when he spoke polite words, he would tap his toes on the ground. Now, when he speaks polite words, Lu Changqing wants to applaud himself.

When the news of returning to the capital came, Li Huaibao could not even take half of the responsibility, let alone be independent. Li Shibin could not leave Jinming Village, so Lu Changqing could only take Li Huaibao away to return to the capital to meet the emperor on behalf of his father.

Considering Li Shibin's intelligence, Lu Changqing repeatedly told him that no matter what Li Yuanhao said in the letter, he should ignore it.

If the other party wants to pretend to surrender again, let them hand over their weapons and then send them to the south to perform labor.
