Han Kaiyuan, the new commander of the rebels, took office just yesterday, and when he took office, he personally led 5,000 soldiers to escort a batch of grain and grass to the battalion.

Han Kaiyuan and Wu Jing are both former generals of Chen Shuizhou, and he is still above Wu Jing in terms of ability, but Wu Jing has a deeper relationship with the Taiyin Sect, so when attacking Gupingzhou, the Taiyin Sect handed over the power to Wu Jing and arranged for Han Kaiyuan to be stationed in Chen Shuizhou.

Seeing Wu Jing sweeping all the way through Gupingzhou, with outstanding military achievements, and won the weight of the Taiyin Sect, Han Kaiyuan was envious in his heart, but he was helpless. Who knew that when the peak turned around, and only the last Pingcheng was left, Wu Jing was repeatedly frustrated, and was even killed by Pingcheng.

When the news came, Han Kaiyuan was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that his opportunity had come, but he did not take the initiative to ask for help, but hid in the mansion to deal with his own affairs, deliberately turning himself around.

Wu Haoren, the leader of the Taiyin Sect, considered it again and again, and finally decided to reuse Han Kaiyuan and personally asked him to be the commander of the rebels. Han Kaiyuan repeatedly excused himself, stating that he was too busy with affairs and couldn't withdraw for a while, and he also kindly recommended other generals to Wu Haoren.

After Wu Haoren went back and discussed with the middle and senior leaders of the sect, he denied Han Kaiyuan's recommendation. Although the person he recommended was also a very capable general, he was even worse than Wu Jing. Although the Taiyin Sect is a great sect that shocks the rivers and lakes, and there are countless masters in the sect, when it comes to marching and fighting, they really don't have better generals in their hands.

In the end, the Taiyin Sect decided to reuse Han Kaiyuan and gave him great power, all his military operations were not subject to the Taiyin Sect, and he did not need to ask the Taiyin Sect for instructions like Wu Jing had done before; the Taiyin Sect would also send a large number of masters to protect him, and similarly, these Taiyin Sect people had to obey Han Kaiyuan's dispatch.

When Wu Haoren came to the door again and explained these conditions, Han Kaiyuan saw that the goal was achieved, and accepted it when he saw it, and immediately agreed to Wu Haoren's request to make him the new coach. He knew in his heart that it was too much, and that the Taiyin Sect could give him so much power was already the maximum concession. So Han Kaiyuan took immediate action and took office.

The new official took office with three fires, Han Kaiyuan just solved the problem of grain and grass, calmed the army's heart, and planned to let the army repair for a few days before attacking Pingcheng, but he didn't expect to be attacked by the Pingcheng army at night, although the loss was not large, but it made him feel embarrassed and very annoyed!

Since the beginning of the war, it has always been Chen Shuijun who has chased the Guping army, and the Guping army has never taken the initiative to attack. But as soon as Han Kaiyuan took office, he was attacked by someone, he thought that this was an offense to his majesty, so he must destroy this cavalry that disturbed the camp!

Therefore, seeing Ye Heng leading the team to attack him, in Han Kaiyuan's opinion, this is an extremely disrespectful provocation to himself, and he must be killed by thunderous means!

Ye Heng swept the glaive sword in his hand, and with one move, he crossed the mountains and rivers to meet the pursuing rebels, and Han Kaiyuan stood up to meet the attack.

"Dang!"

After a loud bang, Han Kaiyuan's mouth cracked, his upper body shook a few times on the horse's back, and he was almost knocked off the horse. Ye Heng staggered past him, swung his knife again, and cut down several people.

The Pingcheng cavalry then rushed in, and Han Kaiyuan's palms were numb so he had to turn his horse's head and hide to the side. The Pingcheng cavalry rushed through and followed Ye Heng into the enemy army.

Ye Heng rushed into the enemy army, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, killing all directions, and it was rare for his subordinates to meet a combined general!

Rushing all the way to kill, Ye Heng suddenly felt empty in front of him, it turned out that he had already killed the enemy army, and the cavalry of Pingcheng followed closely and killed it. Ye Heng turned the horse's head, roared, and led the troops to rush into the enemy army again, along the way, the rebels were constantly killed and fell off the horse, and rushed out of the enemy army again, Ye Heng shouted "Withdraw!" and led the team to Pingcheng.

"Marshal, how are you?" the leader of the guards came to Han Kaiyuan's side and asked worriedly.

Han Kaiyuan covered the tiger's mouth and watched the Pingcheng army leave calmly, and said angrily: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine! Chase me, no matter what, this cavalry will be completely wiped out today!"

The leader of the guards promised to lead the troops to chase them out, Han Kaiyuan looked at the corpses that fell to the ground, most of them belonged to his own side, and the loss of the other party was less than a hundred.

"When did the cavalry of Gupingzhou become so powerful? No wonder Wu Jing will capsize in the gutter, it seems that he will have to deal with it carefully in the future. Han Kaiyuan said to himself.

Ye Heng led the team to run twenty miles, and when he saw the pursuers chasing after him, he couldn't help laughing and shouted: "Go back to the city at full speed!"

The marching cavalry urged their horses again, raising their speed to the limit. The pursuers thought that they were jumping over the wall in a hurry and wanted to get rid of them, so they immediately accelerated their pursuit. It's just that the sky is not clear, and I didn't notice that after the Pingcheng cavalry passed, the tripwires that suddenly appeared on the ground.

The rebels who were chasing ahead suddenly flipped on their backs, and the cavalry that followed them could not catch up and tripped and fell to the ground. The pursuers in the middle saw that a piece of the front was falling, and immediately dodged on both sides, never thinking that there were traps on both sides, the traps were more than two meters deep, and there were sharpened wooden stakes inserted inverted, and after falling in, all the men and horses were penetrated, and they died on the spot.

Before the pursuers who followed behind could understand what was going on, they fell to the ground one after another, and it turned out that the war horse was injured and unstable on its feet. More than 5,000 pursuers immediately became in disarray, and at this time, bows and crossbows were fired in unison, arrows rained down, and after several rounds of volleys, the pursuers suffered heavy losses.

"Brothers, kill!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and dense black shadows appeared all around, rushing towards the pursuers!

Ye Heng immediately turned around after rushing out of a distance with the cavalry, and also shouted, "Cavalry regiment, charge!" Nearly four hundred iron cavalry showed their bright weapons and rushed towards the pursuers!

Everything proceeded according to the previously planned steps, and the pursuers were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of ambushes, and the battlefield was one-sided. When Han Kaiyuan arrived with the follow-up pursuers, it was already dawn.

Han Kaiyuan looked at the corpses all over the ground, and his heart was like a knife!

"Ah! Pingcheng Army, you wait for me, the day the city is broken, it will be the time to slaughter the city! If you don't take revenge, you will not be a man!" Han Kaiyuan suddenly looked up to the sky and roared angrily.

At this time, the Pingcheng army had already returned to Pingcheng, and everyone was in high spirits! Today they fought a beautiful ambush battle, annihilating 5,000 pursuers and capturing a large number of horses and equipment. When the news spread, the whole city rejoiced and was confident in defending the city.

Han Kaiyuan stood silently on the edge of the battlefield, and after the initial anger, his face became expressionless, and he began to carefully observe the terrain. Before taking office, Han Kaiyuan was affected by the previous war, thinking that the Pingcheng army could only defend the lonely city, and never thought that they would take the initiative to attack, he was full of thoughts about how to break the city, so he did not pay attention to the surrounding environment and terrain. Looking at the ambush point chosen by the Pingcheng Army, Han Kaiyuan took a deep breath and knew that the loss of more than 5,000 cavalry was not unjust at all!

It was a long and narrow valley, and the mountains on both sides were not very high, but it greatly restricted the movement of the cavalry, which was not conducive to the development of large groups, and their ranks were forced to stretch extremely long. If the head and tail are cut off, their own army will become a turtle in an urn, and others will naturally be able to catch it. If you give yourself a choice, you will also set this as the best ambush spot.

"It seems that there are high-ranking people in Pingcheng, and I have to guard against it. In the future, we must pay more attention, and we must not follow in the footsteps of Wu Jing!" Han Kaiyuan muttered to himself.

Seeing that his subordinates had finished disposing of the corpses on the battlefield, Han Kaiyuan immediately turned back to the camp and immediately convened a military meeting, emphasizing that the matter of doing a good job in guarding the barracks and that the matter of being attacked by the military camp must not happen again!

In Pingcheng, Ye Heng frowned as he looked at the attrition sent by the cavalry regiment. Today's battle was smooth, but the five hundred cavalry came back less than four hundred, although such losses are insignificant compared to the number of enemies killed, but the number of troops in Pingcheng is small, and there is no follow-up supplement. Every person killed in battle is a huge loss.

"It's still not strong enough!" Ye Heng sighed and began to think about how to improve the strength of the cavalry regiment. In the current war, cavalry can be said to be the most elite and lethal of the army, who has a strong cavalry in his hands, who has the initiative to determine the outcome of the war.

Gao Lang and Li Quan came to Ye Heng with a spring breeze on their faces, and found that he was worried, Gao Lang immediately asked: "Brother Ye Heng, what's wrong with you? We won a big battle today, why are you not happy at all?"

"General Gao, how can I be happy, the cavalry we formed has only returned less than 400 people, how to replenish the number of people, how to improve the combat power, these are all problems that we urgently need to solve. After suffering a defeat today, the rebels will definitely not be reconciled, and they will definitely attack the city in the near future, and we must prepare a countermeasure. Ye Heng smiled bitterly.

After listening to Ye Heng's words, the two generals also put away their faces. Yes, although a battle was won today, the rebels still have an absolute advantage, and they have a steady stream of reinforcements, and they can quickly make up for the number of people who have lost, and they cannot afford any losses here.

"Brother Ye Heng, do you have any good ideas?" asked Li Quan.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!" Ye Heng shook his head and said, "By the way, what are the two generals looking for me?"

"We were looking for you to ask you to drink, but when you say that, where is there still any interest in drinking!" Gao Lang said excitedly.

"Well, then, the rebels will soon attack the city, and if we can stop this attack, I will take out all my wine, and invite the whole city to drink it together. Ye Heng said boldly.

"How much wine can you have, it would be nice to have a small glass per person then!" said Gao Lang with a smile.

"There isn't much wine, this is to give everyone a hope. Li Quan said.

"Yes, after the war began, everyone lived like a year, and I don't know when such days will end. If everyone knows that they can have a sip of wine, it can be regarded as a comfort. Ye Heng explained.

"I see, don't talk about others, when I know that after another battle, I will have wine to drink, and I start to think in my heart that I will survive this battle no matter what!

"Yes, no matter what time it is, we must let everyone have a hope in their hearts and a hope to live, so that everyone can burst out with greater strength. Ye Heng said.

"Okay, Brother Ye Heng let you break the bank, when the war is over, if I am still alive, I will definitely invite you to have a good drink!" Gao Lang laughed.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Ye Heng said with a smile, "Okay, let's go have breakfast, by the way, let's go see the refugees who came yesterday, I don't know what skills they have, and arrange things for them to do after understanding them." ”

When Gao Lang took Ye Heng to the place where the refugees were settled, they were gathering together to talk about today's great victory of the Pingcheng army, which had spread in the city, which was very morale-boosting.

"Brother Ye, you're here!" Zhang Axiao immediately ran over as soon as he saw Ye Heng coming, "I heard that you have won a big battle, what can we do to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

"What's the hurry? Are you so unsure of your life?" Ye Heng said with a smile, "I'm here this time to find out about your situation, and then I'll talk about the arrangements." ”

"Oh, what do you want to know, just ask!" Zhang said.

"Who among you is a warrior?" asked Gao Lang in a loud voice.

"I practiced kung fu with my grandfather for a few years. A tall, thin young man walked out.

"I also know if some moves count. A swarthy stout guy said.

Except for these two, the rest shook their heads, after all, the proportion of warriors was very small among civilians, and such a situation was also expected by the two.
